Andy Bernham Labor has called upon MPs to vote for the government welfare Improvement as head Kir Stamor Attempt to do Close a backbenth rebellion,
The Mayor of Greater Manchester said that the Prime Minister said Change in welfare system Will create “unfairness and division” among people with disabilities.
He also said that the Prime Minister had Performed a “half U-turn” Which did not go far. Mr. Bernham’s comments will be seen as a hint of a direct challenge for the PM and the ambitions of his possible future leadership.
Work and pension secretary Liz Kendal Many concessions confirmed for the government Welfare deduction In an attempt to lead a large rebellion by Labor Backbencher on Monday, which involves protecting people claiming personal freedom payment (PIP) from new eligibility criteria.
U-turn means that at present they will not be affected by the proposed deduction in the receipt of PIP and Universal Credit, but those claiming in future will get less money.
However, speaking at an event at the Glestonbury Festival, Mr. Bernham said: “The announcement made is half a U-turn, 50% U-turn. In my view, I hope to vote for MPs against the entire bill when Parliament is revealed.”
He said that Labor MPs “faced the possibility, if they accept this package, some could come in their surgery in two years,” Why did you vote for making me worse than 6,000 pounds, but who was preserved as an existing contender was it exactly the same? “
The mayor of Manchester said: “I hope they think carefully before the vote, because the vote will create that unfairness and divide it into people with disabilities.”
Their intervention comes when ministers hope that the MPs will be sufficient to lose the concessions when they vote on reforms on Tuesday, although Downing Street is hanging for a adequate rebellion.
A “logical amendment” proposed by Senior Labor Backbancher Dame Meg Hilier received support from 126 Labor MPs, which was sufficient to turn Sir Kir’s majority.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also confirmed that his party would vote against the government’s proposals, saying that he was “not serious welfare reforms”.
On Monday, from modeling Department for Work and Pensions It was suggested that the government’s proposal will push 150,000 more people into poverty by 2030.
Ms. Kendal also told the Commons on Monday that the price of taxpayers will be £ 2.5 billion by 2030 by 2030 on welfare deduction.
Other senior labor figures outside Parliament, including London Mayor Sir Sadiq KhanPublicly expressed his disappointment on reforms.
Sir Sadiq said that the water-down welfare bill will take people into poverty and remove the security trap.
He said, “I have met many people who have dignity, who do work, through their own mistake, do not require support from the state, and they are really worried that they will lose it,” they said.
The Mayor of London said that the concessions of the government have so far “not far away” to address the concerns among MPs opposing the bill.
U-turn will also create problems for Chancellor Rahel reevesWhich will now have to find a way to cover the amount expected by the government and the deficiency between the new, lower figures.
